Barnstorming makes a comeback

During the 1920's the phenomenon of barnstorming occurred. Pilots returned from the first World War and wanted to make a living flying. Using surplus Curtiss JN-4 ("Jenny") airplanes purchased from the US government for as little as $200, barnstormers toured all over the US. They put on shows, did stunt flying (including flying THROUGH barns) and took people for rides. By 1927, however, federal regulations began to be enforced and the traveling barnstormers heyday was over.

Now the Chinese are bringing barnstorming back. A team of Russian pilots will fly jet fighters through Tianmen Cave in central Hunan province. Promoters are selling 20,000 tickets for around $840 each. The cave is 280 meters long and about 130 meters high. It gets as narrow as 28 meters.....

I don't think I'd personally want to be inside the cave, thanks anyway.
